Late last week, a package arrived at our office with a beautiful pair of socks and the most adorable letter I’ve read in a long time.

The letter was from 86 year young Frances FIsher from North Carolina and it read:

“Dear Mr./Mrs.Ms. Knit Picks,

I have enjoyed knitting with your yarns for some time and I am so appreciative of your high quality and excellent prices. I am enclosing a pair of socks that I have knit from nine different families of yarn. This is a basic lady sock: size 2 needles, 60 stitches on fingering yarn. I knit them from leftover yarn from other socks and I really do not know what to call them. Maybe you can think of something more imaginitive than ‘leftover socks’. I have knit over 200 pairs of socks and I have found them to be a great connecting piece with people either close by or far away. Thanks so much.

The way it works is this: the person who comes up with the most creative name, wins the socks! Simply leave us a comment on this blog and we will select the winner by Thursday, April 28th. Please limit your comments to 5. In order to win, you must have a US or Canada mailing address. No purchase necessary.
